ABSTRACT:
A rear suspension for a vehicle includes a sub-frame having projections to a rear and on both ends of the sub-frame, coupling portions are formed on front and rear sides of the projections for connecting the sub-frame to a car body. Front and rear lower links are transversely arranged with respect to the car body and each include a car body side coupling portion coupled to outer end of the sub-frame and a wheel side coupling portion coupled to a knuckle arm rotatably supporting a wheel with respect to the car body. A connecting arm projects upwardly from and has an inner side lower end coupled to the car body and an outer side lower end coupled to the knuckle arm. An upper arm is coupled to an upper end of the connecting arm and cooperates therewith for enabling the wheel to move up and down with respect to the car body. A trailing arm is longitudinally arranged at a front side of the knuckle arm, and has a front end coupling portion including rubber stoppers having different spring characteristics from each other inserted therein and coupled to the car body to achieve a toe control of the wheel when the longitudinal force is applied to the wheel. A rear end coupling portion is coupled to the knuckle arm for enabling the wheel to move up and down on the basis of the front end coupling portion. A strut assembly absorbs an impact caused when the wheel moves up and down.
